We give only some hints regarding the points which are the substance of the contents of the five Germam volumes published from 1838 to 1842; and many volumes would be required, if we would explain the memorable events which happened afterwards for new illustrations and confirmations of the preceding events. There is a concatenation of the most solemn warnings to all the upholders and supporters of the old ruined Babylon, that they should come out not to be partakers of her plagues. Besides the mentioned mystery on the 100th place of our catalogue there is another mystery on the 90th place. Besides those two, four or five others as you may read the whole report in those volumes, have neglected to fulfil their highest duty, and were excommunicated on Easter Sunday, 1838. But those four or five came after that excommunication to me and were received in our communion; but the 90th and the 100th have been brought by their mediums for the fulfilment of prophecies and for the most solemn divine assurance to political and ecclesiastical rulers, that they are in such a tremendous condition, in which they would not remain a moment, but would become directly with us messengers of Peace, if they would comprehend but a little of what we know regarding their condition.

After having received such an astonishing unexpected light regarding the 100th of the 144 witnesses of our catalogue, that only those can duly appreciate it who have studied my volumes, others who have neglected their duty and came in the number of the excommunicated only for an illustration of those on the 90th and 100th places, as we have explained in those volumes, came then without having been called, to me, and were received in our communion. But the 90th did not come, and his place and his names had a peculiar reference to all that which has been performed in the Cathedral Church of Boston by our instrumentality; but I had received no communication in regard to him. Therefore I thought proper to send Messengers to inquire, whether anybody knew a man having the name "Leo Hefner" and having been in Boston at the time in which the 144 witnesses signed their names in my catalogue. But after the most careful inquiry nobody brought any account of Leo Hefner. After that I received the communication, that that name which is on the 90th place of our catalogue, is a mystery which must be explained by me.

Then I commenced to explain, that most suitable names have been selected by Divine wisdom for the excommunication, of the Beast which has the mouth of a Leo, that means in English a Lion, Revelation, xiii: 2, and the Beast is the Papal Monarchy, for the foundation of which although several predecessors of Pope Leo I. were preparing the way, that Leo or Lion contributed most by his energy and principles which are expressed in his writings, to that monarchy, which afterwards Pope Gregory VII. endeavoured to establish with great power, and his successors triumphed at length against their adversaries, and the mouth of these lions under the Christian mask swallowed as much of human life and property as it could reach, and the whole succession or family of the Popes produced a "Hefner." In the explanation of the expressive names which have been prepared by the Heavenly Congress, we take the most suitable significations which appear obviously in the names. We took the name "Hefner" as a composition of German Hef or Hefe, which means "dregs" or "sediment," and the Hebrew "Ner," which means Lamp, so that Hefner means "dregs of the Lamp" in our interpretation. The Pope used the Hebrew Lamp and besides others especially German scholars gave him the greatest assistance, that by his anti-christian management the Lamp of Truth and Righteousness could not burn, because there was oil consumed and dregs of the most dreadful materialism were destroying and ruining mankind.

It is to be understood, that we give only some hints of what we explained in the first volume as far as our leaders found proper to do, showing gradually the great apostasy from the christian truth and immersion into materialism and ceremonialism, produced by the anti-christian management[Z] of the "Hefner or Dregs of the Lamp." In the second volume we cotinued the explanation, that is, I under the direction of invisible agents, was writing for the second volume. When I thought that regarding the Beast with ten Horns was sufficient explanation given for that volume, I heard on the 20th November, 1838 at noon time a Heavenly voice: "Count the number of the name of the Beast." Revelation, xiii: 17 and 18. I replied "Lord! I counted it long time ago." Then the Heavenly voice was repeated. I asked, "Is'nt Lateinos" the right name? I received the answer: No. Then I understood, that neither that name which was delivered by the old Church Father Irenaeus and written with Greek letters gives the number 666 and points to the affairs of the Latin Man, nor any other name found for an illustration of the prophecy and containing 666, expresses what is prophesied about the beast; but that Hefner, contains the whole mystery; because each pope as pope has the mouth of a leo or lion, and the whole family or succession of the popes have produced the Hefner, or dregs in the lamp, which cannot burn, because oil is consumed with the mouth of the Leo. After my having explained for the second volume, that all circumstances testified that by "Leo Hefner" the Papal Monarchy was excommunicated from Christ's Church, and that in this name the whole history of Popery is comprehended, showing what every pope as pope is, and what the whole succession of the popes had poduced, the heavenly voice "Count the number of the name of the beast," has given the most striking divine confirmation or divine seal to our interpretation of the mystery. I wrote the family name, after having received the heavenly order, with Greek letters, and to my astonishment they gave exactly the number 666, Revel. xiii: 18. Greek scholars should keep in mind, that the German H is expressed by the Greek mark which is called by grammarians spiritus asper, and that in both syllables of Hefner e is long, and with this remark they will find by writing Hefner with Greek letters, in the name exactly the number 666.

After having received the Heavenly order, that I counted the number of the beast, while I was writing the manuscript and preparing the print of the second volume in Philadelphia, I received soon a letter from Boston containing the information, that Matthew Arnold who is on the 86th place of the 144 witnesses and in the deputation who after my having excommunicated Bishop Benedict Fenwick from my ecclesiastical communion, came to move me to occupy the church for my performances, was inspired and remained when the other left my room when I received the communication to occupy the church for our work, that same man learned who the man was who brought the name Leo Hefner into my catalogue. Since there were usually besides the witnesses also a number of others in the school room, in which names were signed in my catalogue, it seemed to be an easy task to discover the man, who had brought the name, by asking those who signed their names next the 90th. But there are thousands of discoveries quite easy, but they could not be made, till the time for their use arrived. Besides me, all the 144 were also under so strict a control of invisible agents, that all happened in due time. After all other things regarding the mystery have been disclosed and also the number of the beast has been counted, I received the information, that the man who has brought the name, was a single man, quite suitable that he became a medium of Pope Leo xii. The first name of that medium was not Leo, but he was known under the French name Louis, although his German name was Ludwig; and his family name was Hefner. But Leo Hefner was not his name. He was brought as a medium of the departed Pope Leo XII. and he gave the name which we needed. His family name corresponded with the whole mystery of the fruits of the family or succession of the Popes, but he was only a medium, and instead of his proper name a name was to be given which suited the mystery, and the Pope amongst the departed who represented the succession of the Popes, had to give his own name. Here is no room to repeat the explanation from my often mentioned volumes, how tangibly it was shown by signs, that Pope Leo XII. was the leader who had brought that medium for the most astonishing excommunication of popery. The name Leo has given also the stopping place, from which we count in different directions the epochs of the duration of the Papal monarchy. We have done so in the third German volume and in the work which exists in Latin, German and English for our monthly theological course and for the Latin convention, if the Emperors of France and Austria comprehend us and call their bishops together, to learn the great things which are disclosed for the pacification of the world. Bible Students may explain many things by the hints, given in this book, for instance, how the three verses of the 18th chapter of the Revelation have been fulfilled on Easter Sunday, April, 15, 1838, by the excommunication of the Beast and its image or its ten Horns from Christ's Church. We could name here the powerful Angel, Revelation, xviii: 1. But here is no room to explain, why that martyr was found most qualified for that office, that he delivered to me three times the command to perform that excommunication[AA], in which the proclamation is included: "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every foul beast, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." Revelation, xviii: 2. Interpreters did not know, how to read the text, because some manuscripts have the word "beast" and others have instead of that word "spirit." But the powerful Angel who had the superintendency in these affairs, has shown, that you have to read the word "Beast," because he has given to Pope Leo XII. the order to inspire his medium, to give for our use the name "Leo," or Lion who is the king amongst the Beasts, for our use in the excommunication of the Papal monarchy from Christ's Church, and the medium, although of German parents, was secreted under the French name Louis, in reference to the French Kings, who were for a great support, and at length for a great fall of popery.

But with the Imperial Family of Austria is an other phase. "Petra dedit Petro et Petrus Diadema Rudolpho." This was the motto when the infernal holiness inspired the Pope, to send the crown to the Count of Hapsburgh, to have that count when he becomes Emperor of Germany, his obedient servant. At length, after the support of all kinds of Papal Imperial Royal abominations the departed Emperor Francis was allowed to take the most suitable medium in possession. The proper name of the medium should have been Eagle according to the delight of Emperors in that Fowl. But our superintendent in those affairs took rather the Hawk or Vulture as a more suitable rapacious fowl, who put the name Emperor instead of his name into our catalogue. That the departed Emperor Francis of Austria became the leader of that his medium, will be shown below for a peculiar instruction of Emperor Francis Joseph, that he might become with us messenger of the New Era. But before this we must give here a very brief lesson to Pope Pius IX, although this whole book and especialy this treatise contain extraordinary lessons for him, and we could write a large volume of correspondences of wonders and signs in Pope Pious IX actions with our apostolic actions.

Bishops would have converted long time ago Pope Pius IX into a powerful preacher of the New Era if they themselves had studied our message of Peace, or rather the Papal monarchy would have been extinguished long time before the appearance of Pope Pius IX. Gregory XVI was the last Pope in the ordinary course of affairs. While I was reading his book: "Il trionfo della Santa Sede e della Chiesa" (the triumph of the Holy See and of the Church,) my Lord has opened my eyes, that he was near to overthrow the See of his infernal holiness, supported by such an abominable delusion as is contained in that pestilential book and other similar impositions. But I did not know at that time, by what kind of means it would be effected, till A.D. 1838 the wonderful works were executed in the Cathedral Church of Boston, so that I expected, that bishops would, after the publication of my explanation of those events, comprehend them and instruct their Pope in what was his highest duty. But they proved to be miserable servants of this their grandmaster of abominations.

Popes with their whole Hierarchy are continuously repeating prophecies and at the same time refusing to do what is their highest duty for the fulfilment of prophecies. I could not have expected, that Pope Gregory XVI, that machine of darkness, would have paid attention, if I had applied directly to him. But if bishops had studied our writings and comprehended our mission and its credentials, they might have drawn also their master Gregory XVI, to look into our matters. But he vegatated and died in the fulness of his prophetical position, whereas he was not ready to enter into the Dispensation of the fulness of times, Ephes. 1: 10, which is to be introduced by messengers whom I represent, I mentioned that the whole Papal Church is prophetical. In her is concentrated the prophecy of Judaism and Heathenism. Popes who had a peculiar charge, had also names and numbers correspondent to their charge. When in Pope Leo XII the apostolic number was complete he prophesied, as readers must recollect, according to his Leonine wisdom about a Church Doctor or Apostle of the higher mission, and after his departure he had to inspire and bring the man into our school-room, to sign the most suitable-mysteries on the 90th place of our catalogue for the excommunication of Popery from Christ's Church. And Pope Gregory XVI had to write the above quoted book, while he was yet a monk. But by that book the way was opened for him to the Papal Chair. He prophesied on the title-page of that book in the first place the triumph of the Holy See or the Papal Government. And it triumphed so, when he became Pope that with his successor the whole miserable machinery is breaking and breaking, till at length the Church, that is, the people will triumph by receiving our message of Peace, by which all kinds of Popery will be abolished from the Globe. He on the Papal Chair concentrated in his name and number of the name the whole mystery of his position. He was Gregory, that means a watchman, as prophets are called, and he stands as prophet, in the full number XVI, which is as remarkable in the developments of Popery as the number 666, so that the disciples of the Revelator were debating, whether the spirit had given to their master the number 666, or the number 16 in Revel. xiii: 18, till the spirit had shown by our instrumentality, that the number 666 is the principal number in counting the name and the periods of the duration of the government of that Beast, but the number 16 comprehends many of its deep mysteries. The 4th Beast in the 7th chapter of Daniel was formed gradually into the shape of the Papal monarchy, and 4 times 4 is the complete number in which the last ordinary Pope appeared in his glory; he is the "infallible monarch of the church," as he himself has proved while he was yet a monk, in the above quoted book, that the Pope is the infallible monarch of the church. By the means of that book my Lord of truth and righteousness has opened my eyes, that I commenced to comprehend the infernal imposition of the dragon and his host, by which nations were so duped that they believed the Papal infallibility, holiness and all other abominations and blasphemies of the living God and his Christ, and that I have performed and explained what is required for the abolition of all kinds of Popery. The number of the Biblical writing mediums or prophets, whose books are collected in one section of the books of the Old Testament, is sixteen. They were as little understood as to who they were and where they were, as the Popes. The number of the Popes each of whom appears under the name Gregory or watchman, is also sixteen, or two times eight. The last of them or the sixteenth Gregory was the Pope under whose administration the mysteries were performed by our instrumentality for the abolition of all kinds of popery. But he continued to rule in all his glory and to keep disturbers of his infallible monarchy in prison. He was the most glorious during the time, in which the Beast or the Papal monarchy is in the number eight, Revelation, xvii: 11.

The often mentioned catalogue of the 144 witnesses which appears in the English translation of my 4th German volume, entitled "The one thing needful," from the 533d till 538th page, is a concentration of wonders and signs, which were effected under the control of the 144,000 martyrs, Revelation xiv: 1. In reference to this mystery as well as in reference to the 144 cubits of the wall of the New Jerusalem, Revelation, xxi: 17, their number is exactly 144. They were the stones used while we were performing in the Roman Catholic Cathedral Church what was required according to prophecies for the removal of Babylon and bilding of the New Jerusalem. "Behold I come as a thief." Revelation xvi: 15. He came so secretly, that neither on the 7th Jan., 1838, while those 144 witnesses were signing their names into my catalogue nor afterwards, while they were performing each his task, we understood much of what was behind the vail, till after the great excommunication on Easter Sunday, 1838, the great mystery commenced gradually to be developed, and I received on the third Sunday after Easter, 1838, directly before the service, from my guardian the direction to deliver the valedictory sermon in order that all which, was to be executed in that church according to prophecies, had been accomplished. The church had prepared for our use on that Sunday the 16th chapter of John. And I selected the text: "A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father." John, xvi: 16.

If you have comprehended this book to this page, you know, that I am Jesus Christ's first-born son in the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times. Ephes. 1: 10. But also after having been publicly initiated to this ministry on Sunday Sexagesima, February 18th, 1838, at the altar of the Cathedral Church of Boston, I progressed slowly in the development of the mystery.
